6.3.5 Active Pulldown

UCC23710 implements an active pulldown feature to ensure the OUT pin is clamped to VEE when VDD is open. The OUT pin in high-impedance state when VDD is open. However, if voltage is present on the OUTL pin external to the gate driver, the voltage drives the pull-down FET through Ra and will pull down the output preventing the device from being turned on as shown in Figure 6-5.
